The Prison Book program is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run organization.  The Prison Book Program has been supplying prisoners with free reading material since 1972.

At Prison Book Program we provide prisoners with quality reading materials at no cost -– materials crucial for the personal, spiritual, and political development of all people.  We do so because education is a powerful tool that improves the lives and communities of prisoners by greatly reducing the chances that they will return to the prison system after their release.
